Former YSRCP Rajya Sabha member V Vijaysai Reddy has announced that he will launch a new political party on November 11, saying there was a political vacuum in Andhra Pradesh.
He said the new party would be guided by patriotism, the welfare of the people and the protection of Andhra Pradesh's interests.
The launch time, he said, had been fixed by a priest as an auspicious occasion and there was no other motive behind choosing the
date.
"The people of Andhra Pradesh are disillusioned with both the ruling TDP and the opposition YSRCP, creating a clear political vacuum for a new alternative. Against this backdrop, we have decided to launch a new political party on November 11," Reddy told PTI Videos on Friday.
The former MP criticised the performance of successive governments in the state, saying both parties had fared poorly on several fronts, including law and order.
